Movement is one of the properties of Muscle tissues. This specialized tissue contains muscle cells’ fibers which are connected in fibers and sheets. Muscle tissues are located between two bones. And the contraction property of muscle tissues helps both bones to move smoothly. Browse more Topics ...
The smooth muscle tissue builds up the walls of all internal organs of the human body, including blood vessels, and is enriched in various ion channels that control excitability and contractility. From: Pharmacology, 2009 About this pageAdd to MendeleySet alert ...
smooth muscle n. Muscle tissue that contracts without conscious control, having the form of thin layers or sheets made up of spindle-shaped, unstriated cells with single nuclei and found in the walls of the internal organs, such as the stomach, intestine, bladder, and blood vessels, excluding...
A highly simplified model of the smooth muscle tissue is formed to study a special form of viscous effects occurring in living tissues. Namely, when a sample of the tissue is deformed, the fluid in the extracellular matrix has to move because it is extruded from one places into others. ...
Smooth muscle cells also proliferate and migrate upon the activation of chemical and mechanical factors, which modulates tissuehomeostasisand development. Unfortunately, uncontrolledvascular smooth musclecontractility results in the development of hypertension. Aberrant airway smooth muscle reactivity leads to ...
development. The development of vascular smooth muscle cells is a crucial target for vascular tissue engineering and therapeutic revascularization.[5] Organ Systems Involved Smooth muscle is present in all of the organ systems below: Gastrointestinal tract...
The smooth muscle cells of the circular musculature of the guinea pig ileum are connected by gap junctions (nexuses) which occupy about 0.21 % of the cell surface. When the muscle hypertrophies in the portions of the ileum oral to an experimental stenosis, the muscle cells increase in size ...
The occurrence of only one example of nodular, or dartoic, myoma in this series can be explained on the basis that such tumors arise from special rows of smooth-muscle cells in the scrotum, nipple, and external genitalia deep in the subcutaneous tissue and, therefore, are seen primarily by...
We hypothesized that engineered smooth muscle cell (SMC)-endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) bi-level cell sheets could improve ventricular dysfunction in DMCM. Primary mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and EPCs were isolated from the bone marrow of Wistar rats, and MSCs were differentiated into SMCs by...
